Sounds like you're in the right direction. I'd also be curious about the heat mat and thermostat. If you don't see him and he spends 99% of his time in his hide congrats you've got yourself a ball python lol

I doubt petsmart actually got him to eat and nonetheless the first day he got to their store if you want to feed live and not ft I'd get him a small live hopper mouse the next time you intend to feed. Be aware there's a small risk when he gets to eating rats that he could get tagged on a bad strike and if you want to switch back to ft in the future you may be playing a test of wills.
